More: it is legaly difficult to implement in some countries. That is why I am less and less interested in "basic cryonics", Chemical conservation, coupled with uploading, seems a better option for a mass product. I have no doubt on the inferior quality of chemical conservation and the near impossibility to bring back to life a corpse chemically preserved. It would neverthless retain a sufficient amount of information so that uploading would remains an open way. Thyme extract is a powerfull antiseptic and conservator. It is worth testing for chemical conservation This is an industrial product ready found on the market. It may be more costly than cryonics in the first stage but needs nothing more afterward : a cemetery is a good storrage facility for such a technology. Cryonics will have to demonstrate good scientific records if it want to survive in the new environment with the cheaper chemical conservation. Y. Bozzonetti.
